emained the same.The findings of this investigation suggest that (at least for this sample) incest offenders seemto exhibit increased levels of concern for their victims as a result of undergoing specialisedtherapeutic interventions designed to enhance victim empathy. However, as the treatment ofchild sex offenders involves more than just empathy enhancement, further research isrequired to determine if these changes in victim empathy are associated with long-termrecidivism.Source: Author’s abstractMaxwell, G., Anderson, T., & Olsen, T.

Thestudy investigated the experiences of women who are victims of family violence. Barriers toattending the programmes were identified, such as time constraints and concerns aboutsharing personal information in a group setting. This report emphasises the importance of aninteragency collaborative approach to link women with resources so they may be protectedfrom violence. Meeting the needs of women, cultural responsiveness, accessibility, suitablestaff, and adequate funding were identified as components of an effective programme forprotecting victims of family violence. Recommendations include strategies designedspecifically for Maori victims, incorporating tikanga Maori principles and protocols.Maxwell, G., Barthauer, L., & Julian, R. (2000).

A postal surveycollected data from 381 GPs and Plunket nurses. Barriers to investigating incidents of childabuse are identified in the article, including the possibility of the patient terminating contact ifthe case was investigated. This article discusses s59 of the Crimes Act (1961) in relation tohow it creates conflict for health practitioners when determining whether a child has beenabused or not. How GPs and Plunket nurses respond when the presenting client is of anotherculture is also explored. Finally, the article highlights that health practitioners feel they needmore information about child abuse, including indicators and the legalities of reporting abuse.112

Distorted childhoods: The meaning of violence for children.Social Policy Journal of New Zealand, (10), 177-189.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/12993.pubTopic Areas: Child abuse and neglect, Physical abuse, Psychological/emotional abuse,Sexual abuse, Families, Children, Children as witnesses, Legislation, Policy, Prevention/intervention/treatmentAbstract: This article explores children’s perspectives and experiences of violence.Definitions of violence are discussed, with the witnessing of violence by children classified asa form of psychological abuse. The authors emphasise the dearth of research in New Zealandpertaining to children’s experiences of violence. The authors conducted a study of 259children, aged 11 to 13 years, to investigate the impact of violence on children, and whatevents affect them the most. Approximately half of the sample had witnessed adults fightingin the home. The authors found that witnessing violence was significantly detrimental tochildren, emphasising the vulnerability of children to events occurring around them. Sexual‘touching’ and physical violence towards children was uncommon, but when this did occur,the impact on the child was substantial with largely emotional as opposed to physicalconsequences. Implications for policy and practice, and means of prevention and interventionare discussed.Maynard, K., & Wood, B. (2002).

It also discusses some of theassociated challenges and constraints from both a government and non-governmentperspective, and demonstrates innovative ways of meeting some of these challenges.McCarthy, J.

The purpose of this research was to document the impact thatPTSD symptoms have on victims of domestic violence. In the first part of the study, in-depthinterviews were undertaken with the 3 participants. The results of this study suggest that theimpact of PTSD induced by male partner violence has profound effects on victims ofdomestic violence and their children. Participants’ level of impairment ranged from mild tosevere. These interviews confirm that PTSD often goes undiagnosed, and therefore untreated.Participants found it difficult to separate the impact of domestic violence on their lives fromthe impact of their PTSD symptoms. However, there is evidence that ‘something’, whether it113
